Princess Cadence reclined back on her divan and then reached for you glass merlot. The mare took a sip and then looked over at the opaque pearl white bottle that bore her cutie mark.
An impish grin spread across her face. She was eager to enjoy the contents of the bottle, but at the same time was certain thrill in just knowing that it was in there and it would stay in there until she decided to partake of it.
In a show of self discipline she deliberately ignored the bottle and enjoyed her wine for another 30 minutes. Satisfied with her own demonstration of delayed gratification and self control the alicorn’s horn flared and stopper popped into the air and floated over to her. Then she rolled over on her side and watched the show.
Slowly a swirling tendril white smoke with streaks of blue mingled in it started flowing upward. Instead of dispersing like normal smoke it coalesced a few feet of the bottle, steadily increasing in solidity until a figure started to take shape.
The smile on Cadence face grew larger as the form of her husband Shining Armor solidified in front of her. With eyes closed, head bowed and the palms of his hands pressed together he floated silently for several seconds before addressing her in a solemn voice.
“You’ve summoned me mistress. What does your heart desire?”
Cadence said nothing. Shining remained silent. This continued for several seconds before they both started laughing. Shining’s pose relaxed.
“So. How was that for an entrance? Do I get the job?”
The princess eyed him up and down. “Definitely!” Growled the mare. “This was great idea that Rarity came up with! We most certainly need to send her a thank you gift.”
Shining rubbed the back of his head with his left hand. “Definitely. Well Flurry is with aunt Twilight for the weekend, and I told the palace staff not bother us.” The stallion smirked. “So mistress, what does your heart desire from me?”
Cadence made a
come here motion with the index finger on her right hand. Shining smiled and floated over to her.
